I want my movie clip to tell a scene to gotoAndPlay(2); when it reaches a certain frame(frame 68).  
What I did was put [AS]\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);[/AS] into frame 68 of the movie clip. I also tried the same thing with a telltarget command.  
Does anyone know what to do?

the \_root targets the main timeline. Are you saying that you want to play the main time line when your MC reaches frame 68?
